Mass in the past: Josh Hines-Allen and his Jaguars teammates slim down in hopes of turning up
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Hines-Allen tipped the scales like never before in 2024. The seventh-year pro beefed up to 285 pounds at the behest of first-year (now former) Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, whose 'mass kicks ass' motto was a mainstay during the offseason and in training camp. It was catchy — and ultimately consequential.

Gauff defeats top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka to win her first French Open title
PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff has won the French Open for the first time by defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in Saturday's final. The second-ranked Gauff came out on top of a contest that was full of tension and momentum swings to claim her second major trophy after the 2023 U.S Open, where she also came from a set down to beat Sabalenka in the final. It was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and just the second in the last 30 years. After Sabalenka sent a backhand wide on Gauff's second match point, the 21-year-old American fell onto her back, covering her face with both hands before resting her forehand on the clay. After greeting Sabalenka at the net, she hugged film director Spike Lee and celebrated with her entourage, three years after she lost in her first final at Roland-Garros. Sabalenka started the deciding set strongly, sticking to her high-risk approach to hold her first service game. Gauff responded by raising her level, winning a superb rally in the third game that drew loud cheers and applause from the crowd. After an intense exchange of drop shots, Gauff hit a lob that Sabalenka chased down before attempting a shot between her legs — only for Gauff to intercept it at the net and finish with a winner. Gauff was consistent from the baseline and earned a break point which she converted when Sabalenka double-faulted, giving her a 2-1 lead. Sabalenka turned toward her box and shouted in frustration but then regained her composure, breaking back to level the match at 3-3. She was broken again at love, however, and Gauff then held serve twice to claimed the title after a match that lasted 2 hours, 38 minutes. ___ AP tennis:

Cristiano Ronaldo delivers update on football career as Saudi contract nears end
The 40-year-old said a decision on his future is 'almost final' (AP) Cristiano Ronaldo has stated he will not participate in the upcoming Club World Cup after declining offers from competing teams. The 40-year-old's contract with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, who have not qualified for the tournament in the United States, is set to expire at the end of June. Advertisement Earlier this year, FIFA president Gianni Infantino suggested the possibility of the Portugal captain joining one of the teams involved in the competition, which commences next Saturday. But speaking ahead of his country's Nations League final against Spain on Sunday evening in Munich, the forward said: 'I will not be at the Club World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner in a 2-1 victory against Germany on Wednesday to book Portugal's spot in the Nations League final (Bradley Collyer/PA) (PA Wire) 'Some teams reached out to me. Some made sense and others did not, but you can't try and do everything. You can't catch every ball.' Ronaldo's club future remains unclear. He posted 'this chapter is over' on social media following Al-Nassr's final league game of the season in May. Advertisement However, according to reports, he could agree a new deal to remain with the club he joined from Manchester United in 2023. Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo revealed a decision on his future was 'almost final'. The Portuguese footballing star joined Al-Nassr in 2022 following a short return to his early team Manchester United in 2021. He has found success at the Saudi club, becoming the top goal scorer in both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. The striker also became the first player to be the top goal scorer in four different country's leagues in 2023: Spain, England, Italy and Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo played in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for Portugal – his fifth appearance at the prestigious competition. It is unclear whether he will play for his country again in 2026.
